Corsica is France\u2019s \u2018Isle of Beauty\u2019. And there\u2019s no doubt that Domaine de Murtoli \u2013 a property dotted across a private 6,000-acre estate \u2013 fits right in. This is a secluded escape; a peaceful retreat. One for travellers looking to lose themselves in a wilderness of hills, valleys, beaches and ocean. These sublime surroundings \u2013 which form part of a rural working farm \u2013 are unrivalled. It’s no wonder this is one of the most sought after stays in Europe.<\/p>\n
Corsica is accessible on a short flight from mainland France and other European countries. Domaine de Murtoli then lies just a 25-minute drive from Figari or 90 minutes from Ajaccio. In 6,000 acres on the southwest of the island, you\u2019re almost off the grid here. In the best possible way. The property is scattered with artfully restored old stone shepherd\u2019s huts and beautiful private villas \u2013 on an estate so big that you’d likely get lost without a map. Some are beachside, others tucked away in the hills or valleys overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Idyllic, wherever you choose to reside.<\/p>\n
20 individual shepherd\u2019s huts and private villas are dotted around the estate. With an air of rustic luxe, you\u2019ll find local stone, lime walls, chestnut shutters, oak and terracotta floors \u2013 accompanied by crisp white linens and tasteful furnishings in natural tones. Many have their own private plunge pools, too. Don’t mind if you do.<\/p>\n
For guests wanting an equally beautiful but less secluded atmosphere, the estate\u2019s Hotel de la Ferme also has nine simple and luxuriously decorated suites, with its own pool set amongst the vineyards.<\/p>\n
Between the olive grove and the vegetable gardens, the hotel is in the heart of a farm, which grows its own fruit and vegetables, harvests essential oils, and makes its own cheeses. These organic roots underpin dining in the property\u2019s three excellent restaurants. Table de la Ferme serves exquisite one Michelin star modern Corsican cuisine; Table de la Grotte is a romantic, candlelit dining experience in a cave; Table de la Plage sits on the beach, serving fresh seafood. Or dine in your room. It\u2019s entirely up to you. Sublime, whichever you choose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
